Stunning video of an arcturid isopod! (not a caprellid!)

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

the year is 2026. I am watching a 15 second ad for the Winter Olympics in exchange for the privilege of watching a 79 year old pedophile, who is also the president, shart himself

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

Graffiti that says trains, sluts, and drugs

What more do you need?

Slim I cooked him so bad he started crying, this is what I do this for. This is why I love the game. Gon head and eat them veggies son"

dudes rock

just because he did one cool thing doesn't mean ACAB doesn't apply to this guy

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

when all of this gets slightly less heated the NYT is going to be profiling anonymous ICE agents like they’re regretful Trump voters just you watch

As I lay here dying of food poisoning (I threw up in my dog’s food bowl!😭), let’s have a peek at this Roman sard sealstone depicting two sows with a male pig … well, makin’ bacon. 🥓 Probably meant to be a symbol of fertility, a charm for good luck and prosperousness. 🏺 #BritishMuseum

'I felt like my life was at risk': B.C. school trustee surrounded by police with guns, handcuffed in case of mistaken identity Prince George, B.C., school trustee says she's shaken and scared after being surrounded by police with their guns drawn and then put in handcuffs, in what RCMP say was a case of mistaken identity.

A school trustee in Prince George, B.C., says she's shaken and scared after being surrounded by police with their guns drawn and then put in handcuffs, in what RCMP say was a case of mistaken identity. Erica McLean is vice-chair of the local school board, originally from the Gitxsan Nation in Hazelton, as well as an author and athlete who works with youth in the community in north-central B.C. She says she was in the parking lot of a local Starbucks Tuesday morning, parked in her vehicle, when an unmarked police car slowly bumped into the front of her SUV, followed by a second one boxing her in from the back.

RCMP say they were following training In a statement, RCMP did not dispute McLean's version of events. They said they had received a report of a stolen vehicle the day prior, taken by suspects they believed to "be associated with a local crime syndicate." On Tuesday, the statement says, a local police unit believed they spotted the stolen vehicle in a parking lot and "our police officers followed their training for what they determined to be a high-risk vehicle stop, which includes using police vehicles to prevent movement of the suspect vehicle and engaging the occupants, in this instance a lone driver, with their firearms drawn.”

Okay time for fun.

Go into your photo roll or whatever, and post the first image that makes you laugh literally out loud.

Here's mine.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Me at 6am: Do you want me to make you a breakfast sandwich?

8-year-old: Can I have it for lunch instead?

Me: Sure. But it'll be cold.

8: That's okay.

Me at 6pm: Why didn't you eat your lunch?

8: It wasn't hot.

Me: I told you it wouldn't be.

8: But you didn't tell me it would taste bad cold.

Quite unusual: Alberta's three Chief Justices have issued a signed statement on judicial independence. No reason specified but comes not long after Premier Danielle Smith made some comments re: same during a year-end interview.

The guy genuinely gave a shit.

And the empathy vampires murdered him for it.

YouTube video by PABLO TORRE FINDS OUT Exclusive: Grizzlies Owner Robert Pera Linked to Russia's "Crimes Against Humanity" | PTFO

Our latest deep dive with Hunterbrook Media (@truth.bsky.social) is about one of the five richest owners in sports: Robert Pera, of the Grizzlies and Ubiquiti.

An NBA owner said, "No one knows where their sales come from."

The answer involves Russia's drone war in Ukraine: youtu.be/s6i4uffZvhc?...

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Scene from the Simpsons, showing the Japanese “Mr. Sparkle” commercial. The episode is “In Marge We Trust”, Episode 22 of Season 8. Image shows Homer’s face in an anime style. His face is in front of a pink box with some Japanese text visible. Text in white reads, “I’m disrespectful to dirt”.

omg

I just want to point out that Bovino's response to Bill gives away the underlying worldview: Sympathizing with (black and brown) immigrants over (white) American citizens makes you a (race) traitor, which makes you a part of the "problem" (and thereby deserving of same treatment as the immigrants)

Now I want to know which CNN reporter or producer doesn't know the word "sycophant."

I personally believe it’s good when people who had bad opinions change them into good opinions. I think we should celebrate that. Just not as much as we celebrate people like me, who only have good opinions

Homeland Security doesn’t like it when we call ICE and Border Patrol “the Gestapo.”
So let’s set the Gestapo aside. Instead I’ll use this thread to compare Trump’s thugs to other secret police and terror squads from different times and places. It’s tyranny, no matter where it comes from. 1/10🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵
